1. An electronic device comprising:
a substrate;
a conductive pad on the substrate;
an insulating layer on the substrate, the insulating layer having a via hole therein exposing a portion of the conductive pad; and
a conductive structure on the insulating layer and on the exposed portion of the conductive pad, the conductive structure including a base layer comprising titanium-tungsten (TiW) and a conduction layer comprising at least one of aluminum and/or copper, wherein the base layer of the conductive structure is between an entirety of the conduction layer and the insulating layer.
